Three Celebrity Takes on Kimberly Ovitz's 'Jacob' Dress

Celebrities have access to clothing and accessories most of us don't. Likewise, they have both the opportunity and means to hire people whose sole job is to select, style, and perfect their signature look. The rest of us? We use that money to pay rent, enjoy the occasional dinner at Cookshop, and hit up sample sales.

This is why, when I see a garment I love—like this all-over pintucked `Jacob' dress from Kimberly Ovitz's FW09 collection—needlessly disrespected due to what can only be described as the result of an accessory grab-bag experiment (sunglasses! glove! belt! collar! bag! tights!), it makes me appreciate that much more women like Chloë, Alexis, and their teams of Rachels, Taylors, and Brads, none of whose discerning sartorial eyes would ever allow them to walk out their front door in such a piled-on manner.
